Rachael Elmore, a mother of two and a licensed mental health counselor specializing in treating postpartum depression and anxiety, comes alongside new moms to provide them with the practical tools and biblical wisdom they need to take care of themselves and become the connected and emotional healthy mothers God designed them to be.

Most new moms know that the first year is going to be full of joys and challenges, peaks and valleys. However, even though they have prepared themselves as much as they can, they still find themselves thinking, "I knew this was going to be hard. But will it always be this hard?" This wasn't what I was expecting, what if I don't know how to take care of this baby—or myself?

Rachael Elmore has been there and knows firsthand how challenging the early days and months of motherhood can be. In her book, "A Mom Is Born," she combines her expertise as a licensed and clinical counselor with her deeply personal story of overcoming postpartum depression after the birth of her first son. She walks alongside readers, providing practical tools such as the New Mom Wellness Plan and a postpartum progress checklist to help find the balance between taking care of their new baby and taking care of themselves.

Using scripture and therapeutic insights, Elmore guides mothers in developing a biblical plan for navigating new motherhood, the baby blues, and postpartum depression. She teaches them how to stop intrusive thoughts and triggers in their tracks and overcome postpartum anxiety. She also helps them process and manage all the new emotions they are facing, and begins implementing small acts of self-care that will lead to emotional health.

"A Mom Is Born" gives moms the tools they need to stop spinning in the overwhelming emotions and anxieties of new motherhood and start taking control of their lives. It provides a roadmap for navigating the challenges of motherhood with grace and confidence, allowing mothers to embrace the joys of being a mother while also taking care of their own needs.
